Meet actress, who was once a yoga teacher, became first Indian actress to give Rs 500 crore film, is now..., her name is...
We are talking about the Baahubali: The Beginning's Devasena, aka Anushka Shetty !
Let us tell you that before she lit up the big screen, Anushka was a certified yoga instructor, trained under Bharat Thakur. And, as we said earlier, we never know what's going to happen next. Fate took a sharp turn when director Meher Ramesh spotted her during a yoga session.
Impressed by her calm charisma, he introduced her to filmmaker Puri Jagannadh, who cast her in the 2005 film Super. While the film didn't make waves, it was the quiet beginning of an extraordinary career.
Before doing Baahubali: The Beginning, her early years saw a string of performances in films like Mahanandi and Arundhati, and then the real turning point came with a call from SS Rajamouli.
Cast as Devasena in the Bahubali franchise, Anushka not only delivered a performance that resonated globally but also became the face of strength, elegance, and rebellion in Indian cinema. Baahubali's franchise grossed Rs 2400 crore!
Together, Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion grossed Rs 2400 crore worldwide, placing her in a rare club of female leads associated with historic box office numbers.
But if you think this is it, hold on. Anushka is far from done. Known for choosing roles that stand apart from the crowd, she's now gearing up for her upcoming action film Ghati, in which she's seen in an entirely different, never-seen-before avatar. The teaser alone has created a stir among fans. She also has the Malayalam horror thriller Kattanar in her pipeline. Anushka Shetty's net worth
Now with a net worth of Rs 140 crore, Anushka Shetty's journey is proof that destiny often rewards patience, talent, and a little bit of daring.

Mumbai's iconic Filmistan Studios, founded by Kajol and Rani Mukerji's grandfather, sold for Rs 183 crore; to be redeveloped into luxury towers by 2026
Filmistan Studios, one of Mumbai's earliest and most storied film studios, has officially been acquired by Arkade Developers for Rs 183 crore. The deal was registered on July 3 and marks the end of an era for a property that played a foundational role in shaping the landscape of Indian cinema since the 1940s. Filmistan was founded in 1943 by Sasadhar Mukherjee, grandfather of actors Kajol and Rani Mukerji, alongside actor Ashok Kumar, Gyan Mukherjee, and Rai Bahadur Chunilal. The studio was born out of a break from Bombay Talkies, and quickly became a hub for Hindi film production. Back then, studios weren't just rental spaces, they were full-fledged production houses employing actors on monthly salaries. A legacy of Indian cinema to be replaced by luxury living Known for its sound stages, accessible outdoor sets, and central location in Goregaon West, Filmistan served as the backdrop for countless Bollywood films, TV shows, and advertisements over several decades. However, with newer, tech-savvy studios mushrooming across the city, Filmistan gradually lost its sheen. Now, the four-acre parcel on SV Road is set to transform. Arkade Developers plans to launch an ultra-luxury residential project with a projected gross development value of Rs 3,000 crore. The high-rise development, slated for a tentative launch in 2026, will reportedly include 3, 4, and 5 BHK residences and penthouses across two 50-storey towers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upto 15% Discount for Salaried Individuals ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo 'Thrilled to shape the next chapter' Confirming the news on LinkedIn, Arkade Developers' Chairman and Managing Director Amit Jain wrote, 'Thrilled to share that Arkade Developers has successfully acquired the iconic 4-acre Filmistan Pvt.

This development will go beyond being a premium address, and it will offer a thoughtfully curated lifestyle experience for a discerning few.' He also said that the company's aim is not just to construct homes, but to build a legacy reflective of Mumbai's evolving aspirations.
